Jamilee and Eric didn’t focus on wedding colors or wedding centerpieces, finding the perfect wedding venue top priority. We wanted something outdoors, but not on the beach. We also wanted to have shelter for backup in case of bad weather . Brooker Creek Preserve was perfect because they are both nature lovers and as soon as they saw it they loved it, “They could have the ceremony outdoors, in the woods, with enough space for all of our guests, and then move indoors for the reception. Jamilee wanted to have flowers in her hair .. when else does a girl get to wear a crown?.The Groom and the guys wanted hats and suspenders..the bridesmaids dresses were ordered on Etsy and it all fit in with the outdoors and the simplicity of the vintage era.. From hanging rustic balls with fabric on the gazebo outdoors with natural wood chairs to the long kings tables for the family style dinner served topped off with a rustic cupcake stand.. the guest Danced the night away or dressed up and took photos of each other with the fun vintage props to the cornhole games… When the reception was over.. the guests grabbed a flashlight and headed down the trail to their cars…
